LIV4F actual VBAT range

What is the actual backup input supply voltage range for Teseo LIV4F receivers? Datasheet says that it is 3-3.63V which is really high and doesn't make sense to add any Lithium battery as a backup supply because it will very quickly drop below 3V at the beginning of operation (CR2032/CR1220). But X-NUCLEO-LIV4A1 (https://www.st.com/resource/en/data_brief/x-nucleo-liv4a1.pdf) has a place for CR2032 battery socket and even diode D2 in series on which will be some extra voltage drop. So the question is it a mistake in board design or the actual minimum VBAT voltage is less than it's written in the datasheet? In the second case, it's a drawback of these receivers, at least for my use-case.

LIV4F VBAT can operate down to 2.1V.

I believe there is a margin that will allow for VBAT to dip below 3V.

Please give me a day or two to confirm this.

Thanks! It would be nice to check. If it can operate at 2.5V, it will be sufficient for use with lithium batteries.
